Before the national expansion of Pro Wrestling the business was split into many different regional promotions referred to as "the territories". Each territory competed within their own regional boundaries with unqiue wrestling stars, championship belts, and local TV. We talk the good old days from the territory era, from the AWA to JCP, New York to Los Angeles, Memphis to Mid-South, Portland to Florida, Stampede to Maple Leaf, Houston to Dallas, well... you get the point!

    BONUS EPISODE! AN INTRODUCTION TO USWA 1993 & THE RETRO RE-VIEW PODCAST

    BONUS EPISODE! AN INTRODUCTION TO USWA 1993 & THE RETRO RE-VIEW PODCAST

    As we record a slew of new Regional Rasslin' Episodes over this Memorial Holiday week, please enjoy this BONUS Episode of Regional Rasslin' as we introduce you to Gene Jackson's new Retro Wrestling Re-View Podcast, currently covering the 1993 USWA Project!
    It's the debut edition of the Retro Wrestling Re-View Podcast! Listen in as Host Gene Jackson welcomes his co-hosts Richard Mullikan and Josh Briley (of P3 Radio) to set the stage, then review & discuss the first week of 1993 in the USWA! "Superstar" Bill Dundee is headed out of the territory for an office job in WCW and wrestles his "final match in the TV-5 studio".  "Mean" Mike Miller rang in the New Year "on his back"... because he won't leave until he's ready! Brian Christopher is willing to put everyone's hair on the line (except his own) against Jeff Jarrett's Southern Heavyweight title!  Danny Davis is out for revenge against the Masters of Terror and is willing to face them BOTH....in separate singles matches that is... The Moondogs and Richard Lee are babyfaces....no, seriously! And the Dogs are looking to get their USWA tag team titles back from the Harris Twins! Plus, Jerry Lawler has been seen on WWF TV recently, but don't worry USWA fans, just like "Mean" Mike Miller at a New Year's Eve party (the day after New Year's)....the King ain't going nowhere! (No, that sentence isn't a typo...it will make sense after you check out the podcast)
